May the forms be with you: a new hope with Blazor Hybrid on WinForms
summary
Step-by-step recipe for embedding Blazor into an existing WinForms app: change project SDK to Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Blazor, add a wwwroot and index.html, install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebView.WindowsForms and use the BlazorWebView control, wire up Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection so a singleton CustomerStore is shared across WinForms and Blazor, plug in DevExpress controls including the DevExpress Data Grid and toast, and add an app‑bridge to call Blazor navigation from WinForms; demo shows edits and toasts in one UI immediately appearing in the other.
